Which is a big pain with FreeBSD: very often, the upstream souce moved or 
changed its name and the download no longer works. Debian is a closure: when 
the distribution is shipped, you can be sure to be able to retrieve everything 
you need to compile from every Debian mirror. Costly in diskspace, but very 
convenient.
